Welcome to Georgetown Sports Camp. I’d like to give you some information: during your time at the camp you will find fourteen different sports, five indoor activities and nine outdoor sports. If you want to do a sport, just write your name on the lists of the sports you would like to do.

Now, clothes. For most sports you can just wear shorts and a T-shirt. As we do both indoor and outdoor sports, make sure you have a pair of trainers with you, too.

Lunch is served at the snack bar from quarter past twelve and quarter to two. You will find sandwiches and drinks to buy there, but if you want salad or fruit, you need to go to the little shop near the bus stop. Don’t eat too much or you won’t be able to run and jump!

For each sport you do, you will get a mark and each mark goes into your final score. If you get over 190 marks in total, you will get a tennis racket. The maximum score is 250 and those who get that score will win a surfboard.

I hope everything is clear.

Morning everyone. As you know, you all have the possibility to join Mr Shelley’s piano lessons, starting from next week. That’s S H E L L E Y. You can join the lessons if you have a piano at home, but keyboards are OK too.

Lessons are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but on Wednesday you already have the French course with Mrs Dufour, so your day will definitely be Tuesday.

Now, the price. A single lesson for two students is £25 pounds an hour or £15 for half an hour. I suggest you start with the one-hour lesson, then once you know the basics you can do half an hour. You must go to Mr Shelley’s house which is very close to Queen’s Square. The exact address is 105 Main Street. Remember to call him first, his number is 0753 715380. Did you get it right? I’ll stay it again: 0753 715380. The best time to call him is between six and nine.

Is that clear to everyone?

Good morning boys and girls. Let’s have a look at the hotel information for our trip to Edinburgh. When we arrive in town, we’ll go straight to St Andrew Square, which is 5 minutes’ walk from the railway station and very close to our hotel, the Dork, which is in George Street. Tell your parents that the price for a double room is 120 pounds a night, and a single room is 90 pounds a night. So, if you’re sharing a room, the price is 60 pounds a night.

The hotel is very big, there are 100 bedrooms, but we only need 20, possibly on the same floor.

It’s a very nice hotel with a lot of facilities, such as a gym, a sauna and even a swimming pool, but we won’t have time for any of those, we’ve got a very busy schedule!

So, did you get the address right? It’s George Street, and the hotel is opposite the Post Office.

Woman:   And now for some information about an exciting fashion show here in the town this summer.

The show will be at the History Centre. I guess most of you know where that is, but for those of you who don’t, it’s behind the town hall.

The show is in July… sorry, I’ve got the wrong piece of paper here… I mean the show will be on the 1st of August and it’s called ‘Clothes for the Successful Student’. At the start of the show, you’ll see some casual but smart shirts and blouses, just right for those university interviews, and then in the second half of the show, shoes that are fashionable and comfortable!

If you’re studying fashion, tickets are only £6 instead of the normal price of £9. That’s good news for fashion students!

The clothes in the fashion show won’t be on sale that day, but you will be able to buy a catalogue of the show to take home with you! Right, now on to…

Guide:   Thank you for calling the Science Museum Information Line. We have two exciting pieces of news!

As well as our usual exhibitions at the museum, if you visit us this month, you can see our latest exhibition which is all about weather. Do you know where the coldest and hottest places are in the world? You will, if you visit this exhibition in the science gallery on the first floor. Everything you ever wanted to know about thunderstorms and windy weather. There are recordings of interviews with the weather experts and some interesting videos and photos. Then come and have lunch in our new café on the fifth floor. Our new menu includes cakes, sandwiches, salads and an excellent variety of teas, coffees and cold drinks.

Secondly, we are pleased to say that there will be a student science quiz again this year. There should be 4 people in each team, so find three friends who are good at science and between the ages of 15 and 18. You can register your team online. The quiz will be just before the new September term, in the afternoon of August 30th. Group discounts are…

Teacher:   Everyone? Please listen. I want to tell you about our trip next week. Every year, we visit a museum. Last year, we went to a history museum, but this year it’s the Science Museum in London. There’s an exhibition on at the moment that I want you to see. It’s about space and I know many of you would be very interested in it.

We’re going next Thursday, so please ask your parents to fill in the travel form and return it to me on Monday, at the latest. Then I can go and get the travel tickets. The school bus isn’t big enough, so we’re going by train.

Now it’s free to get into the museum so you just have to pay £5 for travel and a bit more for food. That’s £7.50 in total. We’re going to have lunch in the museum restaurant so you don’t need to bring sandwiches. But we need to walk to the museum from the station so remember to bring your raincoat because it may be a wet day.

Guide:   Welcome to Amersham House. I’m your guide and I’d like to tell you something about the tour. It will last 45 minutes. There is then a 20-minute talk about the history of the house. It’s a beautiful day, so this will be in the garden next to the lake. After the talk, you may want to go to the café. You can buy hot and cold drinks there, and also sandwiches and cakes. You will find postcards, books and souvenirs in the gift shop. It closes at five o’clock and you will probably need 20 or 30 minutes there. You can see from the map all the sites with names and specific information. Visitors must stay in the public areas.

There is a lot to see at Amersham House and you may want to come back again. There is a special offer in August. Tickets are usually £5 for students, but they will only be £3.50. Now, let’s begin the tour.

Presenter:   Hi, everybody, and a big welcome to all our listeners. Let’s start with what’s on in August. Once again it’s time for Redlands Music Festival. The three days of fun start on the 23rd and finish on the 25th. That’s Friday to Sunday as usual. This year, the festival will not take place at Green Park. Instead it will be in Prospect Park. That’s in West Redlands, if you don’t know it. There are only a few tickets left for the festival so you have to hurry. You need to phone 730498 to book them. That’s 730498. Or you can get them from the festival website. The tickets are quite expensive. Last year, they were £50 for a day ticket, and this year they’re £2 more, but it’s a great day out. Remember that group bookings get a 10% discount.

And don’t forget to bring money for food. There are some fantastic places to eat at the festival. You can also buy T-shirts, hats and of course a lot of posters of your favourite bands and singers. Music fans will have a great time!
